Our new home

Our new home. There are still some boxes inside so you will just have to wait to see those pictures but our favourite pictures are of the back yard. Just beyond that red fence is the Golf Club. Yes, there is a golf course in our back yard. Hole number 2 to be exact. We are enjoying our new home very much. More pictures to come later.

Conversation between hans and tyler about the election

Hans: "Tyler you are an American too, what do you think about our new president"

Tyler: "He's not my president daddy... he is yours".



While doing the BBQ for dinner Dad and Tyler were talking

Hans: holding his hand in the air said "say President Obama"

Tyler: In his cute innocent voice "I like President Monson".

Elizas pouty face

When Eliza is not happy she doesnt cry all that much she will just do this pouty face, it makes us laugh.

My first and last barbie birthday cake

What a disaster alicias birthday cake was , It took 2 cakes (first one only half made it out of the pan) 4 packet mixes and well alot of my sanity oh and AlOT of icing (big patch up job at the back). Barbie is being held up by popsicle sticks and there is a hole in the back of the cake and she kept falling out....or sinking down the middle.
I was icing the cake and it was so hot the icing spots were melting and i said to alicia "This is the hardest cake i have ever made" and Alicia said back to me "But it's the most beautiful cake i have ever seen". So she was happy in the end and thats what matters right....who cares about the imperfections i see as an adult.Oh there it is sideview of the back of the cake lobsided and a sinking barbie packed with sooooo much icing.

Alicias 5th Birthday

Cupcakes alicia took to Pre-school


Alicia had told me that she wanted streamers and balloons on her brithday just like we did for daddys birthday....after she woke up a little she was loving all the streamers and happy birthday signs we had up in the house for her.She did not stop playing with her new play makeup all morning.
We had a nice day at the park and alicia had her best friend Havanna over for the night. When she was at the park she said "This is the best day i have ever had".
Tyler holding up the traffic on the slide.The girls with her new cupcake maker.....Ready for there bella dancerella

Three pretty girls at the church doorAfter the wedding we had some time to kill on St kilda beach .This is classic picture of Tyler licking up his snot...its a regular thing latelyAt the reception with the bride and groom. Alicia called anne marie "The wedding girl" and was mesmorised with her dress and kept touching the beading on it. Tyler called her "bootiful girl".Tyler what trouble he got up to at the reception, pouring salt all over his bread roll,Spilling his whole glass of ice cold apple juice on him, hiding in the curtains behind the bridal table and constantly running away to the restaurant next door....I really wish i did not wear high heels that day chasing him all night. Everyone else just laughed and thought he was so cute.Daddy dancing with his baby girl...she adores her daddy.
